Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) was an American general who commanded the Southwest Pacific in World War II (1939-1945), oversaw the successful Allied occupation of postwar Japan and led United Nations forces in the Korean War (1950-1953).
Although just 18 years old, Arthur MacArthur Jr. displayed such valor at the 1863 Battle of Missionary Ridge that he was awarded the Medal of Honor. Although nominated twice before, Douglas MacArthur did not receive the same accolade until 1942 for his service in defense of the Philippines during World War II.
